However, like all of his kind, he got his just deserts when he dropped his cargo overboard which Theodore had to rescue, & ended up getting stuck on the Sandy Beach! He left without saying goodbye to anyone and left several things behind - battered cargo and a rather nasty smell!

Due to Cabot just "throwing" cargo on his deck, the cargo eventually fell off his deck on a sharp curve and had Theodore feel bad until the cargo had spoken to him. Various pieces included a cylinder-like container, a crate, an open shipping container, and a red pipe. They come in all shapes, sizes and types, and love to cause grief and despair for whichever tugboat has to take them out.

Only the most experienced and strongest of Tugboats can keep them in order and they are quick not to fool with those who do!

Phillip and Philmore are two identical ferry boat twins with teenager, male voices that cross the harbour before Benjamin Bridge. The twins are modelled after the twin Metro Transit ferries Halifax III and Dartmouth III which were built in 1979 to carry passengers across Halifax Harbour on a daily basis. No one in the Big Harbor is able to tell which twin is which. And they usually finish each others sentences. Phillip and Philmore are sometimes stubborn, and at one point Philmore left the harbour to visit Fundy the fishing boat. Their job is very well recognized, and every tug and ship is careful when they cross between them. They are a mischievous pair, who love playing jokes and teasing the other ships & boats!

Puffer resembles a cross between BR 80 heavy-duty tank engine and an 0-6-0 US Army tank engine but is actually a model made from 'splicing' together various parts from other locomotives (such as the cab, which, upon close inspection, is a German design in origin), and scratchbuilding a few parts (most notably, the side tanks) and has characteristics common to many switcher/shunter locomotives including a short wheelbase and over sized cylinders for his diminutive size - he also features many US features including an American-style whistle, oil-burning headlight, diamond smokestack and a cowcatcher.
